What the Best Split level AC Units...Carrier LG, Panasonic?

[speedaholic]

We still have 2 pioneer units here. Only thing I had to change in mine is the capacitor. It's pretty silent at night. We also have an innovair and that's horrible and noisy. I think it also has to do with where u mount the condenser and if it's braced well. That same innovair makes tons of noise I assume because of this. Is this true?

Also from what the ac guy told me (when I purchased) comfee, pioneer and peakes share the same parts?

this is true...

[speedaholic]

I am a Self employed a/c technician... running about 5 years now... all of the units on the market now are all made in china... the more common brands i.e. pioneer, comfee, peakes, miller, cold wave, gree.. are all very similar units in terms of performance and reliability...

Frigidaire 18000 btu split at pricemart $3000, good buy?

If you guys run through a few of these a/c threads you will find a link up in one.

Contacted him, had his guys come over and scope out the job let us know what needed to be done (electrical upgrades etc) set up a date to do the actual job.

I think they came a Saturday, neat brisk work and real professional.

Have a 24000 in the living room and a 12000 in my room. Both very silent and doing a very good job at cooling.

Been monitoring the current consumption as well. I did a comparison from last two months to this one so far (divided the kWh by two for an average per month). Its three days short of a full month and I haven't seen much of any change. Bill might be about a $20.00 more if so much (bear in mind the units hardly use).

Does anyone know if Panasonic still makes their own AC?

I am in the market for one, wondering the current price for a 12k BTU panasonic and where would sell it. My problem would be if its now a Chinese/Vietnam sticker brand like the 90% of other AC you see selling in Trinidad.

I have a frigidaire from pricesmart that I bought end of 2009. Its on its last lap, fan spinning too slow inside, not cooling good and compressor shutting off before the room reaches the programmed temperature. This AC had its board blown on its first day, so I won't be buying anything from pricesmart next time.

I could spend some extra money on panasonic but I fear its now a China sticker brand. I Want the basic deluxe edition panasonic not the inverter

Yes they do... I can put you on to someone for a Inverter Unit but its a bit costly... Has air purification, inverter technology and its VERY silent...

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Nah I just want the cheapest most basic panasonic

The main reason being I want a regular AC but with quality fan motor and circuitry.

[aidan]

Panasonic makes some excellent units. Have a panasonic window unit going on 9 years without issue running every day.

-Roach- PM me some details please.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

So there is a ad in the papers for panasonic AC available at all American stores

$3100 for a 12k BTU with free install and brackets. Super good deal

Just one thing that basic 12k btu for $3100 uses R22 refrigerant which is available locally but banned in North America. Wonder how much of a problem this would be in future? I know its available locally and isn't really a problem but still.

[hustla_ambition101]

Isnt r22 being phased out, if you going for longevity might as well spring foor the 410 gas

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

^ hmmm sadly the panasonic units they have for sale only uses R22 well atleast the basic model.

The guy at the shop told me it won't be a problem to get the gas for it in years to come and he also said there is a substitute for for R22.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

One other thing my AC has a set of algae slimy thingy in the inside evaporator unit.

They always seem to be forming and spreading any advice on how to get rid of this? besides the slow spinning fan thats giving problems I think the biggest issue is this slimy gooey stuff. Spraying the coins and fins with bleach to kill it is ok?

[R.P.J]

Good day I have a new split unit I got install 12000 btu an water is leaking from the inside piece by the vents the water is constantly dripping the technician came an he did wat he did but its still leaking water.

[joker]
